Well-worn Security Vest

Well-worn Security Vest is an armored vest associated with the GATE Defense Team and appears as starting equipment rather than a lootable item. It is described in the game as the protective vest worn by members of GATE's defense forces. Players encounter this vest only through character loadout selection: it is included in the starting gear when the Defense Analyst job is chosen and is not available to find or buy elsewhere during normal play.

The vest functions principally as a piece of faction-themed equipment that conveys the identity and intended role of Defense Team personnel. Source material does not list specific armor ratings, weight, modification slots, or unique perks, so concrete numerical effects are not documented in the available references. Because it cannot be obtained in the field, its presence is primarily meaningful for role definition and starting-character composition rather than for gear progression or trading.

• The Well-worn Security Vest is tied to the Defense Analyst job and automatically appears in that job's starting inventory.
• It is not obtainable from world spawns, vendors, or enemy drops; outside of the starting loadout it cannot be found during normal gameplay.
• The vest is explicitly associated with GATE Defense Team personnel and is described as an armored/protective vest in all provided localizations.
• There are no documented variations, upgrade paths, or unique modifiers for this vest in the available sources.

Players who wish to reflect a GATE Defense Team aesthetic or who choose the Defense Analyst role for its starting toolkit will receive this vest as part of their initial equipment. Because the vest is not introduced into the broader item economy, it does not serve as a target for looting, crafting, or market activity based on the referenced documentation.
